Take Back All She Lost novel Chapter 171

Chapter171

So it was that simple not to cat carrots–no need for orders, no need for tantrums, just a simple request would do…

That evening, just as Josephine was about to leave, Wilfred returned.

He had also brought back some Marisbury small bowl dishes.

He didn’t say they were for Josephine.

But everyone in the room understood without words–no one but Josephine would eat Marisbury small bowl dishes.

Because they were far too spicy.

Josephine stared intently at the man before her.

At that moment, the light in the hospital room fell just right on his shoulder, casting his face in shifting shadows.

In a daze, Josephine recalled the time when they first defined their relationship.

“Can you eat spicy food?” Josephine asked Wilfred.

“If you can’t eat spicy food, then don’t ask me out to dinner again.”

Judging whether two people are compatible by their eating habits was the first step.

Compromise could last for a while, but not for a lifetime.

Wilfred said confidently, “If you can handle it, so can I.”

Josephine accepted his invitation and chose a Marisbury restaurant for their meal.

In Marisbury small bowl dishes, there were more chilies than vegetables.

No matter how they were arranged, the plates looked like a sea of red stretching for miles.

Wilfred sat for a long time, frowning slightly: “Are these… all your favorites?”

Seeing that Wilfred still hadn’t touched his fork, Josephine asked again, “Mr. Hayden, is this all right?”

Wilfred glanced at Josephine, determination written all over his face.

He picked up his fork and put some food into his mouth.

Through the steam rising from the food, Josephine seemed to catch a fleeting look of pain on his face.

She put down her fork and said, “Mr. Hayden, you shouldn’t force yourself to do this.”

As if trying to prove something to Josephine, Wilfred ate faster and faster, finishing more than half the dishes in no time.

Soon, he was clutching his stomach, cold sweat breaking out on his pale forehead.

Josephine drove Wilfred’s car and took him to the hospital.

The doctor said that spicy food had irritated his ulcer, increasing stomach acid secretion and causing the ulcer to flare up again…

Josephine was furious: “You knew you had a stomach ulcer, so why did you insist on eating with me? Eating those dishes? Was it just to move yourself?”

Wilfred, hooked up to an IV and looking deathly pale, said, “It wasn’t about moving myself.” “I really like you. Can’t you see that, Josephine? I am determined to win you over.”

His stomach ulcer hadn’t made him look pathetic; instead, it had earned him extra points in

her heart.

That day, her heart was stirred, on the verge of erupting like a volcano.

But the ashes after a volcanic eruption are poisonous.

The man who had taught her about love between a man and a woman had also taught her, firsthand, never to believe in love or marriage again.

Sensing Josephine’s gaze, Wilfred looked up at her, but Josephine turned away and walked straight out of the hospital room.

Feeling rejected, Wilfred nearly snapped the fork in his hand.

Helena stepped forward. “Fred, were you trying to thank Josephine for taking care of Belinda? She doesn’t seem to appre-”

Before she could finish the word “appreciate,” Wilfred said, “I bought it for myself.”

Helena said, “But you don’t like spicy food, do you?”

“People’s tastes can change.”

“All right, Fred. If you want to eat it, I’ll eat with you… If your ulcer flares up again, then we’ll both have a relapse together. Whatever you do, I’ll be right there with

Helena’s voice was gentle, her eyes shining with sincerity.

Wilfred felt a warm sensation in his chest.
